This year, I bought a little basil plant. I probably couldn’t have bought anything more practical, since I love cooking with basil. (And I refuse to pay the hefty sum they want in the grocery store for a small sprig of it.) I even love the smell of basil.
The way I look at it, even if I get nothing more from the plant than the leaves that are on it, I’ve already gotten more of a harvest from it than from last year’s tomato plant, which yielded exactly one penny-sized tomato.
I’m still no gardening expert, but hopefully the basil plant doesn’t know that. I’m hoping to have some garnish for many Italian dishes this year!

Haha, I'm the same way! But every year I press on, and get better and better! Fingers crossed it works for you!
Oooh, I want an herb garden! At this point, I'm pretty sure my dogs would eat it though ;)
i am afflicted with the same condition.
That's a beautiful basil plant! I'll trade you my jalepeno plant. It's not growing :(
Good Luck....I bought a Mint plant...I'm thinking Mojito!!!
Ah yes, my anmesia set in smack dab in the middle of the garden section of Lowe's this weekend. We'll see how long I can keep this crap alive....
Good luck! I've stuck this year to having cacti for my plants. I bought 5 of them this week lol.
